The Firm’s Capital Structure
• According to fnance theory, frms possess atarget capital structure that will minimize their cost of capital.
• Unfortunately, theory can not yet provide
fnancial managers with a specifc methodology to help
them determine what their frm’s optimal capital structure might be.
• Theoretically, however, a frm’s optimal capital
The Firm’s Capital Structure
• The major beneft of debt fnancing is the taxshield provided by the federal government regarding
interest payments.
• The costs of debt fnancing result from:
– The increased probability of bankruptcy caused
by debt obligations.
– The agency costs resulting from lenders monitoring
the frm’s actions.
– The costs associated with the frm’s managers having

Capital Structures of United States
and Non-United States Firms
– In general, non-United States companies
have
much higher debt levels than United States companies primarily because United States capital markets
are relatively more developed.
– In addition, in most European countries
and Japan, banks are more involved because they are permitted
The Firm’s Capital Structure
• Similarities between United States and foreigncorporations include:
– Similarity of industry capital structure patterns.
– Similarity of large corporation capital structures.
• In addition, it is expected that diferences in
capital structures will further diminish as countries rely less
• In general, it is believed that the market value
of a company is maximized when the cost of capital
(the frm’s discount rate) is minimized.
• The value of the frm can be defned algebraically
as follows:

EPS-EBIT Approach
to Capital Structure
• The EPS-EBIT approach to capital structure
involves selecting the capital structure that maximizes EPS
over the expected range of EBIT.
• Using this approach, the emphasis is on
maximizing
the owners’ returns (EPS).
• A major shortcoming of this approach is the fact
that earnings are only one of the determinants of shareholder wealth maximization.
• This method does not explicitly consider the
EPS-EBIT Approach
to Capital Structure
• Example– The capital structure of Buzz Company, a soft drink
manufacturer is shown in the table below. Currently, Buzz Company uses only equity in its capital structure. Thus the current debt ratio is 0.00%. Assume Buzz
EPS-EBIT Approach
to Capital Structure
• EPS-EBIT coordinates for Buzz Company’s current
capital structure can be found by assuming two EBIT values and calculating the associated EPS in the table below.
This can be plotted on an EPS-EBIT plane shown
We can use this information to calculate the EPS-EBIT coordinates
as shown on the following slide.
EPS-EBIT Approach
to Capital Structure
• Buzz Company is considering altering its capital
EPS-EBIT Approach
to Capital Structure
• This may be shown graphically as shown
Basic Shortcoming
of EPS-EBIT Analysis
• Although EPS maximization is generally good
for the frm’s shareholders, the basic shortcoming
of this method is that it does not necessary
maximize shareholder wealth because it fails to consider risk.
• If shareholders did not require risk premiums
(additional return) as the frm increased its use of debt, a strategy focusing on EPS maximization would work.
Choosing the Optimal
Capital Structure
• The following discussion will attempt to create
a framework for making capital budgeting decisions
that maximizes shareholder wealth (i.e., considers both risk and return).
• Perhaps the best way to demonstrate this
is through the following example.
– Assume that Buzz Company is attempting to choose
the best of several alternative capital structures—a specifcally, debt ratios of 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50,

• If we assume that all earnings are paid out as
dividends, we can use the zero growth valuation model

Dividend Fundamentals
• Cash Dividend Payment Procedures– A dividend is a redistribution from earnings.
– Most companies maintain a dividend policy whereby
they pay
a regular dividend on a quarterly basis.
– Some companies pay an extra dividend to reward
shareholders if they’ve had a particularly good year. Many companies pay dividends according to a preset
payout ratio, which measures the proportion of dividends to earnings.
– Many companies have paid regular dividends for over
Dividend Fundamentals
• Cash Dividend Payment Procedures– Dividend growth tends to lag behind earnings growth
for most corporations (see example next slide).
– Since dividend policy is one of the factors that drives
an investor’s decision to purchase a stock, most
companies announce their dividend policy and telegraph any expected changes in policy to the public.
– Therefore, it can be seen that many companies use their
dividend policy to provide information not otherwise available
Dividend Fundamentals
• Cash Dividend Payment Procedures– Date of record: The date on which investors must own shares
in order to receive the dividend payment.
– ex dividend date: Four days prior to the date of record. The day on which a stock trades ex dividend (exclusive of dividends).
– In the fnancial press: Transactions in the stock on the
ex dividend date are indicated by an “x” next to the volume
of transactions.
– In general, stock prices fall by an amount equal to the
quarterly dividend on the ex dividend date.
– Distribution date: The day on which a dividend is paid (payment date) to stockholders. It is usually two or more weeks before stockholders who owned shares on the
date
Cash Dividend Payment
Procedures
•
Example
– At the quarterly dividend meeting on
June 10th,
the Jillian Company board of directors declared
an $.80 cash dividend for holders of
record on Monday, July 1st. The frm had 100,000 shares
of stock outstanding. The payment (distribution)
date was set at August 1st. Before the meeting,
the relevant accounts showed the following.
Cash Dividend Payment
Procedures
• When the dividend was announced
by the directors, $80,000 of the retained earnings ($.80/share x 100,000 shares) was transferred
to the dividends payable account. As a result, the key accounts changed as follows:
Cash Dividend Payment
Procedures
• Jillian Company’s stock began selling ex dividend
on June 25th, 4 days prior to the date of record (July 1st). This date was found by subtracting 6 days (because
of the weekend) from July 1st.
• Stockholders of record on June 24th or earlier
received the rights to the dividends, while those purchasing on June 25th or later did not.
Assuming a stable market, the price of the stock was expected to drop by $.80/share on June 25th. When the August 1st payment date arrived, the frm mailed payments to holders of record
Cash $120,000 Dividends Payable $0 Retained Earnings $920,000
Cash Dividend Payment
Procedures
• Thus, the net efect of the dividend payment
is a reduction of the frm’s assets (through a reduction
• Dividend reinvestment plans (DRIPS) permit stockholders
to reinvest their dividends to purchase additional shares rather
than to be paid out in cash.
• With bank-directed DRIPS, banks purchase additional shares
on the open market in huge blocks which substantially reduces
per share commissions.
• With company-directed DRIPS, the company itself issues
new shares in exchange for the cash dividend completely eliminating commissions.
• With brokerage-directed DRIPS, brokerage frms such as
Charles Schwab will reinvest dividends for shareholders who hold stocks
in street name at no charge.
•
For Stockholders
– Substantial reduction in commission
costs.
– They provide investors with an
automatic savings mechanism.
•
For Companies
– Goodwill
– Reduction in cost of delivering dividend
checks.
– An inexpensive means of raising equity
capital
for frms company-directed plans.
Dividend Policy Theory
•
The Residual Theory of Dividends
– The residual theory of dividends
suggests that dividend payments should be viewed as residual—a
the amount left over after all acceptable investment opportunities have been
undertaken.
– Using this approach, the frm would treat
the dividend decision in three steps as shown
Step 2
Using the optimal capital structure proportions, estimate the total amount
of equity fnancing needed to support the expenditures estimated in Step 1.
Step 3
Because the cost of retained earnings is less than new equity, use retained earnings to meet the equity requirement in Step 2. If
inadequate, sell new stock. If there is an excess of retained earnings, distribute the surplus amount—athe residual—aas dividends.
Step 1
Determine the optimal level of capital expenditures which is given by the point of intersection of the investment opportunities
schedule (IOS) and weighted marginal cost of capital schedule (WMCC).
Dividend Policy Theory
•
The Residual Theory of Dividends
– In sum, this theory suggests that no
cash dividend
is paid as long as the frm’s equity need is in excess of the amount of retained earnings.
– Furthermore, it suggests that the
required return demanded by
stockholders is not infuenced by the
frm’s dividend policy—aa premise that in turn suggests that dividend policy is
Dividend Policy Theory
•
Dividend Irrelevance Arguments
– Merton Miller and Franco Modigliani
(MM) developed a theory that shows that in perfect fnancial markets
(certainty, no taxes, no transactions costs or other market imperfections), the value of a frm is unafected by the distribution of dividends.
– They argue that value is driven only by
the future earnings and risk of its investments.
– Retaining earnings or paying them in
Dividend Policy Theory
•
Dividend Irrelevance Arguments
– Some studies suggested that large
dividend changes afect stock price behavior.
– MM argued, however, that these efects
are the result of the information
conveyed by these dividend changes, not to the dividend itself.
– Furthermore, MM argue for the existence
of a “clientele efect.”
– Investors preferring dividends will
purchase high dividend stocks, while those preferring capital gains will
Dividend Policy Theory
•
Dividend Irrelevance Arguments
– In summary, MM and other dividend
irrelevance proponents argue that—aall else being equal—a
an investor’s required return, and therefore the value of the frm, is
unafected by dividend policy because:
• The frm’s value is determined solely by the
earning power and risk of its assets.
• If dividends do afect value, they do so
because
of the information content, which signals management’s future expectations.
• A clientele efect exists that causes
Dividend Policy Theory
•
Dividend Relevance Arguments
– Contrary to dividend irrelevance proponents, Gordon and Lintner
suggested stockholders prefer current dividends and that a positive
relationship exists between dividends and market value.
– Fundamental to this theory is the “bird-in-the-hand” argument which suggests that investors are generally risk-averse and attach less risk to current as
opposed to future dividends or capital gains.
– Because current dividends are less risky, investors will lower their required return —athus boosting
Factors that Afect
Dividend Policy
•
Legal Constraints
– Most state securities regulations prevent frms
from paying out dividends from any portion
of the company’s “legal capital” which is measured
by the par value of common stock—aor par value
plus paid-in-capital.
– Dividends are also sometimes limited to the sum of the frm’s most recent and past retained earnings—a although
payments in excess of current earnings is usually permitted.
– Most states also prohibit dividends when frms have overdue liabilities or are
Factors that Afect
Dividend Policy
•
Legal Constraints
– Even the IRS has ruled in the area of dividend policy.
– Specifcally, the IRS prohibits frms from acquiring earnings to reduce
stockholders’ taxes.
– The IRS can determine that a frm has accumulated an excess of earnings to allow owners to delay paying ordinary
income taxes (on dividends), it may levy
an excess earnings accumulation tax on any retained earnings above $250,000.
– It should be noted, however, that this ruling

Dividend Policy
•
Contractual Constraints
– In many cases, companies are
constrained in the extent to which they can pay dividends by restrictive
provisions in loan agreements and bond indentures.
– Generally, these constraints prohibit the
payment
of cash dividends until a certain level of earnings
are achieved or to a certain dollar amount or percentage of earnings.
– Any violation of these constraints
Factors that Afect

•
Internal Constraints
– A company’s ability to pay dividends is
usually constrained by the amount of available cash rather than the level of retained earnings against which
to charge them.

Factors that Afect
Dividend Policy
•
Growth Prospects
– Newer, rapidly-growing frms generally
pay little
or no dividends.
– Because these frms are growing so
quickly,
they must use most of their internally generated funds to support operations or fnance expansion.
– On the other hand, large, mature frms
generally
pay cash dividends since they have access
to adequate capital and may have limited
Factors that Afect
Dividend Policy
•
Owner Considerations
– As mentioned earlier, empirical
evidence supports
the notion that investors tend to belong to “clienteles”—a where some prefer high dividends, while others prefer capital
gains.
– They tend to sort themselves in this way
for a variety of reasons, including:
• Tax status
• Investment opportunities
Factors that Afect
Dividend Policy
•
Market Considerations
– Perhaps the most important aspect of
dividend policy is that the frm maintain a level of predictability.
– Stockholders that prefer dividend-paying
stocks prefer a continuous stream of fxed or increasing dividends.
– Shareholders also view the frm’s
dividend payment as a “signal” of the frm’s future prospects.
– Fixed or increasing dividends are often
considered
Types of Dividend Policies
•
Constant-Payout-Ratio Policy
– With a constant-payout-ratio dividend
policy,
the frm establishes that a specifc percentage
of earnings is paid to shareholders each period.
– A major shortcoming of this approach is
that
if the frm’s earnings drop or are volatile, so too
will the dividend payments.
– As mentioned earlier, investors view
volatile
dividends as negative and risky—awhich can lead
Types of Dividend Policies
•
Regular Dividend Policy
– A regular dividend policy is based on the
payment
of a fxed-dollar dividend each period.
– It provides stockholders with positive
information indicating that the frm is doing well and it minimizes uncertainty.
– Generally, frms using this policy will
increase
the regular dividend once earnings are proven
Types of Dividend Policies
•
Low-Regular-and-Extra Dividend
Policy
– Using this policy, frms pay a low regular
dividend, supplemented by additional dividends when earnings can support it.
– When earnings are higher than normal,
the frm will pay this additional dividend, often called an extra dividend, without the obligation to maintain it during
subsequent periods.
– This type of policy is often used by frms
whose
sales and earnings are susceptible to swings
Other Forms of Dividends
•
Stock Dividends
– A stock dividend is paid in stock rather
than in cash.
– Many investors believe that stock
dividends increase the value of their holdings.
– In fact, from a market value standpoint,
stock dividends function much like stock splits. The investor ends up owning
more shares, but the value of their shares is less.
– From a book value standpoint, funds are

Stock Dividends
– If Trimline declares a 10% stock dividend
and the current market price of the stock is $15/share, $150,000 of retained
earnings
(10% x 100,000 shares x $15/share) will
be capitalized.
– The $150,000 will be distributed between
the common stock (par) account and paid-in-capital

of the common stock. The resulting balances

Stock Dividends
– From a shareholder’s perspective, stock
dividends result in a dilution of shares owned.
– For example, assume a stockholder
owned 100 shares at $20/share ($2,000 total) before a stock dividend.
– If the frm declares a 10% stock dividend,
the shareholder will have 110 shares of stock. However, the total value of her shares will still be $2,000.
– Therefore, the value of her share must
have fallen

Stock Split
– A stock split is a recapitalization that
afects the number of shares outstanding, par value, earnings
per share, and market price.
– The rationale for a stock split is that it
lowers the price of the stock and makes it more attractive to individual investors.
– For example, assume a share of stock is
currently selling for $135 and splits 3 for 2.
– The new share price will be equal to 2/3 x

Stock Split
– A reverse stock split reduces the
number of shares outstanding and raises stock price—athe opposite
of a stock split.
– The rationale for a reverse stock split is
to add respectability to the stock and convey the meaning that it isn’t a junk stock.
